I'm assuming the Podbyrin 9.2mm you snapped a shot of is from VIP, not Red Heat, since the trigger guard shape is different. None the less, a great job. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]] | I'm assuming the Podbyrin 9.2mm you snapped a shot of is from VIP, not Red Heat, since the trigger guard shape is different.

::Good eye!! (and that is why I did NOT say 'screen used' on the pic ;) ) The original gun is 'who knows where?" This is a copy built by a gunsmith who was a fan of Red Heat from a 357 DE Frame. It's pretty darned close and I had to photograph it when I saw it. There were SOME problems which had to be photoshop fixed, the extended lever for the safety was cracked and a part of it was missing (the gun has a plastic part for this piece), so it was 'restored', the barrel was really scratched, not from firing, but from a mishap where the gun was dropped from a pretty good height (arghhhh), but you know how I don't like photoshop creations from scratch (for the obvious reason that I don't want people thinking that we're just 'drawing' our weapons and not procuring the real guns and actually photographing them). But I usually photoshop out massive scratches or other things or ugly rust marks or thumbprints (when I can't wipe down the gun first), or cracks in old wood, etc. Thanks and when I can get to the original Red Heat gun, I will definitely take a pic of it, but right now I believe that this is the best photo of the Podbyrin anywhere on the net. BTW, it takes a real Hardcore movie FAN to replicate the fake armory markings that the original movie gun had, like this guy did. :) I'm pretty sure the fake S/N is the same as the screen used pistol in the film.
